[25 minutes] Vocabulary Practice!

• Students work on p. 92 Exercises 22 & 23 together: One student says question, other student gives answer.
• CAH checks homework during this time.
• Students then read answers in full group.
• CAH leads students in listen/response practice with Ex. 21

[15 minutes] Vocabulary Conversation Practice: Drill Exprimons-nous p. 93; CAH leads, then students circulate. Note: These are really good questions for an oral quiz!

[15 minutes] Grammar Practice: Possessives!

• Review homework au tableau.

[15 minutes] New Grammar: showing possession with de! p. 96

• The French have no apostrophe + s! To say "John's dog," they must say, "the dog of John": le chien de Jean!
• de combines with le and les, just as à does!
  • the teacher's chair: la chaise *de + *le prof = le livre du prof
  • the computer's screen: l'ecran de l'ordinateur (no contraction!)
  • the girl's book: le livre de la fille (no contraction!)
